NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Tho Haul Made by Lucky San Frsnciseoans
 Y . A Ladies Pool

Every since the result of the May drawing of The louisiana State Lottery at New Orleans became known in this city, runorS have been current all over town that the bulk of the capital prize of SI5o,ooo had been won here by number of lucky resident shareholders in the winning number, IS 766.
 To ascertain if there was any truth in the tale, 2 CaRreporter went on a prospecting tour yesterday among the banking-hoases, thinking some of them might have managed the collec- ton of any prizes drawn at New Or leans. His inquiries met with signal success; Henry Wadsworth, cashier ef Wells, Fargo < Co.'s bank here, made the following statement to the CaXS representative. He said: "Yes 1t Is it fact that we have done the col lecting ot large sum of money drawn in the Louisiana Lottery. on May 10th last. We have so far col lected and paid over to patrons here SEQ, ,ope out of the big prize of $780, GOO. The tickets which we handled were six ane-tenth coupons pnd each represented an interest of SI5,ooQ in that big sum-" yg 6
 The matter ot locating the lqcky winners was more dlfficult. Alter following large number of clews, the reporter succeeded in discovering not one alone of fortunes favorites, but twenty of them. They were all ladies. In a cosy room at the Colon made House, 1920 Market street, was found Mrs. Kelly one of the winners. The lady told the story of how she had made the venture as follows: "For a long time Mls as much ln- terested in the lottery drawing as If 1

had the lucky numbers, but somehow
 or other never could get up courage
 enough to invest in the scheme. 1
 was afraid that l was too unlucky to
 get anything But little while back
 l gave party to my friends-there
 were about twenty-five ot us, all ladies
 and during the evening the ques-
 ton of lotterygtickets came up. More
 out of fun than anything else we pro.
 posed Ito get 'up-a pool and buy some
 tickets. We were not all willing to jolp,. but after some talk we made up a pool of $40 ard bought twenty one'tenth coupons. This was in
 March, just before the drawing.
 When the lists came out, we found our tickets had won only $1o, This was better than nothing, and we again made up another pool of SEQ. We'll, the April drawing won us S2o.
 We put 1t all in again, and in May we got the tenth of SIso,ooQ' That gives us S75o apiece, which, I think, IS big return for our investment. You ought to see those ladies who were at the party, and who laughed at us for buying lottery tickets. TheyI are uSt as mad as mad can be. Wei are going to keep on and try ourluck again in June, as we DOW are sure that there are prizes to be won."
 Mrs. Kelly decIjpcd to give anyi of the names of her fortunate friends who were in the pool, on the ground that they did not desire any mention of themselves. San Francisco (Cal.) CaX June I.

BEING a resident of the territory and a man of position and undoubt, ed integrity, were doubtless sufficient reasons for not appointing John A.. Rush as register of the land office at Prescott. The appointee is Edward Burgess, a Ylrginian, doubtless a very nice young gentleman, hailing from that portion of our country where President Cleveland says it is "a pleasant duty" to confer favers.

IRE present appearance and condi, tion of the range country in this part of Arizona is very satisfactory to stockmen, for they plainly see before them season of prosperity. There has been practically no loss during the past winter from severe weather. Since the spring has opened grass has grown in great abundance and there is emPle water on the ranges until the summer rains come. There IS every prospect now that there will be plenty of fine beef cattle in excellent condition for shipment, early in the sll.
The Arizona champion., 1887-06-25

ASSESSMENTS of cattle in this ter. rttory at what IS considered too high a rate IS causing considerable dissatis faction among stockmen. Cattle that cost S4o. % per head three years ago can now be bought for about SIS. co and the taxation is now assessed at fromSI3 to SIS per head. As it is gen. orally understood that property shall not be assessed at more than three f0urths of it's supposed value; this IS evidently unfair. Another burden is, that underline law passed by the last legislature one mill on every dol lars value of stock has to be paid by stock owners, in addition 10 the rate paid by all other classes of property. It is the only industry in the territory on which a special tax is levied. Some of the apologists for ihis exces- slsye system of taxation are claiming that not three-fourths of the cattle in the county are returned by the own CTS for assessment, but improper re. turns for the avoidance of payment on the full sum of property owned is no reason why assessments should be made unfairly high to cover the def ciency arising from snch false re- turns. Taxation is heavy in Arizona but it ought not to be made to press too heavily on any one class. Neither should the fact that some men make unfair returns be used as a reason for imposing exhorbitant taxation upon those who are just and honest in giv- ing informarlon regarding their as. sessable property.

LETUs CELEBRATE.

There has been a general disposi
 ticn of late years 10 somewhat neg,
 lect the celebration of the Fourth ot | July, probably the increase in the
 number of our national holidays has had something to do with this. Then, our history has been so full of stirring 1.episodes; our experience as a people has involved so much in the chain of events which make the worlds prog ress; we have passed through a great national disaster, and come out of it ylctors, both morally and physically; we have done more in the last twenty years for the progress of humanity and the development of science--which has revolutionized labor and almost annulled time and space--than any other people on earth. But with this glorious record, unparalleled in the history of nations, we ought not to forget the day and the deeds which laid the foundation of these splendid aehieyments and without which the story of the United States for the last hundred years. could never have been written ~
 The Declaration of Independence was not merely protest against an oppressive form of government. When the Bostonians consigned the tea to the bottom of their harbor, that was a protest against the right of the British government to tax the colonies. The war of indedepdence was an armed protest against the domination of an authority foreign to the soil. But the Declaration of Independence was not destructive, it was constructive. It demanded the recognition of certain rights as the heirlooms of humanity more fully than it had ever been declared before. It did not destroy, but built the suhstructure of national power, independent of foreign influences and iniernational complications. A government of liberty, not of license, for license IS the natural outgrowth of oppression.
 Is there not a lesson in this worth remembering, and how can it be done more effectively than by our annual commemoration of the Fourth of July2 As we have grown wealthy, powerful and careless, are we not initiating many of the minor fallacies of the old forms of government, our ancestors so vigorously protested against2. Are we not admitting to our land; and allowing them to pre- mitigate thei. theories here, men who recognize no law, human or divine, that Interferes with their own selfish aggraudisement? In their old world homes they had the excuse of being aprotest against monarchial tyranny, where the iniquity of power begot lawless defiance of it. But they have no abiding place here. This is land of liberty not anarchy.
 We have the grandest 'government that human wisdom and patriotism ever formulated, and if we would treasure it and keep its memory green in our hearts, we should honor each recurring anniversary of its natal day. Therefore, "Let us CeIebrate," and let'the coming celebration in Flag staff show that although we live in the far west, we yield the palm to pone, in our reverence tor law and order as we'll as our love of liberty.

 As IT appears from the report of of the grand jury, that body has foi- lowed the example Of its predecessor and failed to take action in the case of the ex-treasurer ofNavapal county, who is charged with having misappro- priated the people, s money, and who admits his guilt. Such an omission in view of all the circumstances,is is incom- prehensible, and in our opinion mex cusable, and Is a most severe com mentary upon the the manner Tn which very sacred public duty has been discharged. This case IS noto- rious, and now for second time a very grave responsibility has been shlrked. That crime has been com mitted, no doubt whatever exists, and no denial is set up; yet this honora- ble body, for reasons Jaot yet explain ed, refuses to take action Tn the premises. The influences brought to bear, whatever they may be, have certainly been very poteEt thus far in securing unaceopntabte delay. Grave rumors are extant that systematic ef- forts have been made to defeat the ends of justice in this case, that con- binations have been forned to con- promise this matter, that interested parties have been allowed 10 serve as grand jurors, that they might better succeed in carrying out their plans. The juryEjust adjourned, withStrange inconsistency, records itself as severe to the verge of extremity in some things and ridiculously lax in others. It IS to be hoped that some good reason, not now known, exists for such conduct, and crimipal culpabili. ty attaches to no one.-Journal.Mlner
 The CHAMPION fully endorses the above opinion. The grand jury should Lot procrastinate the matter, but dis pose of it in some way There seems to be no reason for the delay as 1t is not likely that any new facts will be brought before them, relating to 1t. If they believe the dedication has been uutlawed-although it is hard to believe that such can be the case, why don't they say so and have done with it. It looks as if MT. Cook and his bondsmen managed to get enough of their friends in each grand jury to prevent the members of that body who wish to act rightly towards the people.oftKe territory, from doing so.
